Personnel Registration

The Exhibitor Personnel Registration system will open June 8. Exhibitors are allotted Complimentary Personnel and Technical Exhibit Hall Only Registrations based on booth size. Exhibitors may purchase additional Full Registrations or Technical Exhibits Hall Only Registrations as necessary.

AAPM Registration staff will be located in Salons ABC on Street Level near the Mt. Vernon Place entrance to the Washington Convention Center:

Friday, July 29 / 8:00 am - 6:00pm

Saturday, July 30 - Wednesday, August 3 / 7:00 am - 6:30 p

Individual personal email addresses required. When entering personnel registrations, you will be required to provide first name, last name, and personal email address for EACH registrant.

Personnel Badges will not be pre-mailed. Each individual must pick up his or her badge on-site at registration. The default process for badge pick-up is that each individual will pick up his or her badge on-site at registration. If you would prefer to do a "Group Pick Up" on-site, you will be given this option in the registration system.

Please review the following information for each option:

Individual pick up:

Prior to the meeting, an email will be sent to each individual registered which will include a QR code specific to his or her registration. The email will go out to Exhibitors on July 22nd.

Individuals will use the QR code on-site to pick up their badge.

Group pick up:

If you opt for a group pick up, your personnel will not receive the pre-meeting email.

The Exhibitor Contact will be the only person who can pick up the companies personnel badges.

Appointments for picking up badges will be held on Thursday, July 28th between 4pm and 6pm. To make an appointment contact Rachel Smiroldo.

NO REFUNDS for Exhibitor Personnel Registration cancellations after July 6.

IMPORTANT: In order to make personnel registration changes after a badge has been printed, the original badge MUST BE EXCHANGED for the new badge to be generated or FULL PAYMENT will be required.

Maintenance of Certification (MOC) as defined by ABR

Many AAPM members now require Maintenance of Certification (MOC) as defined by the American Board of Radiology (ABR). At least 75 continuing education (CE) credits are required every 3 years. CE credits may be met by a combination of Category 1 credits (CAMPEP or ACCME) and self-directed educational projects (SDEPs). At least 25 of the 75 CE credits must be self-assessment CE (SA-CE). Other than ABR prequalified SAMs and SDEPs, the ABR will count all AMA Category 1 CME activities in “enduring materials” (including web based and print) and “journal-based CME” formats toward the MOC self-assessment requirement. SAMS are not required, but can be used to meet the (SA-CE) requirements. Information regarding the MOC requirements can be found at What is MOC.

Deadline to register for SAMs is July 6.

Number of SAMs sessions is to be determined.

Credits for these sessions are available only to attendees who pre-register for the modules.

Limited SAMs registrations will be offered on-site.

SAMS are available to Exhibitor Weekly (complimentary & paid) - not Hall Only.

$10 fee for this item.

Please note that SAMs sessions are open to everyone, but only those pre-registered for the audience response technology will be eligible to receive an interactive response unit. Questions will be asked during the SAMs sessions, and participants must answer electronically. There is no pass/fail. The idea is to assess knowledge gained during the session. All session attendees must perform the required online evaluation in order to receive credits. .

Please call 508-743-8511 to add an PD for participation in SAMs sessions.

Exhibitors may purchase an unlimited number of social function tickets either pre-show via the Internet or on-site. Information regarding the online process will be included in the Online Exhibitor Service Kit.
